A couple of brief reviews

[read_warbler]

I was going to make this a three book post until I realised that this coming week is half-term and I'll be busy being a grandma. Likely as not, another book will not be read before then and as I wanted to post something this will be a two book post rather than a three. Works for me. :-) The two books under the cut are The Last Continent by Terry

Thanks for these recs, it's always good to know about book even if I don't always get round to reading them!

My current reading? I always try to read some Pros and some non-Pros fiction every day, depending on the time of day, and I’m currently reading Rhianne’s pre-slash story Holding On (well I’m seeing it as pre-slash!). It’s long and plotty which I love and I think she writes very well. My fiction is Michael Connolly’s Nine Dragons. I did begin the Allingham book The Man in the Queue but couldn’t get on with the very precise, English style and found it a bit too much of a contrast to what I've been used to recently! But hopefully I'll return to it at some later stage.

It's impossible to get around to reading every book you see on various book blogs, but always fun to read and see what people are reading. :-)

The fanfic I don't know, must be more recent I'm thinking. Michael Connolly my husband reads and enjoys but I haven't got around to him yet. That first Josephine Tey book does take a while to get into - first book syndrome I think *g*. Once he gets to Scotland it becomes a lot more interesting.

Thanks for your lovely comment, you always have something interesting to say.

Thank *you*! If the Tey book ends up in Scotland it's sounding a little John Buchanish (I loved The 39 Steps) so I may well return to it. I seem to read authors and type of books in clusters and I'm sure I'll return to Pre WW2 crime/mystery books as I loved early Christie, Buchan etc.

Cheers.

You're so right... when the Tey book moved to Scotland it reminded me strongly of the Buchan book I read recently, Huntingtower. In parts anyway. At the moment I seem to be stuck in the 1920s and 30s. LOL!
